Wolters Kluwer’s BizFilings announced today the launch of its incorporation package deal exclusively for members of Tongal’s community of independent creatives and filmmakers.

Tongal is the platform of choice for brands, studios and creators to develop premium video content at scale. With more than 100,000 users, Tongal’s global community creates more crowdsourced video for brands than any other company, including successful marketing campaigns, digital advertising spots, TV commercials and social content for LEGO, Lenovo, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Pepsi and more. Video projects created through the platform have resulted in several film screenings at Sundance Film Festival, as well as over $10.28 million in video creator earnings for 2015 alone.

"With our community of talented filmmakers having amassed more than one billion views globally from the videos they’ve made, it’s important that we provide resources for our members to incorporate their businesses," said James DeJulio, co-founder, president and chief creative officer at Tongal. "We are excited to work with BizFilings and offer solutions that help our community members build and protect their personal brands, hone their craft and continue to create world-class digital content."

"For a creative professional, you are your business, and your creativity is your company," said Jennifer Friedman, CMO of BizFilings. "But what many don’t realize is this is true in a legal context, too. Your personal assets could be at stake in the event of a lawsuit, and incorporation helps prevent this."

"In the filmmaking context, incorporation is important given the risks inherent in hiring contractors, using expensive and heavy equipment, and frequent travel," says Tongal community member Rebecca Kahn, founder of Pudu Productions who incorporated with BizFilings. "Plus, in this competitive field, incorporating has given us an edge — it’s taken us to the next level by positioning us to obtain things like insurance and outside investment."
